You can push buffers into appsrc whenever you want, or wait for the
need-data and enough-data signals to let it "pull". That's from an
application point of view though, and the "pull" is not really pull mode
in a GStreamer way. From a GStreamer point of view appsrc will handle
pull vs. push mode transparently and you don't have to worry about that.


For appsink, you can either just pull data all the time which then
blocks... or wait for the new-sample event to happen and only then pull.
But internally from a GStreamer point of view appsink is always in push
mode.
